My router stoped working.

The WNDR3700v1 is indeed better, as the the later revision is a cost reduction variety.

WNDR3700 also has a tendency to brick itself if you pull the power just when it is performing a write/save operation, where only a firmware recovery will fix.

I also have a wndr3700v1 used as a dial band AP w/ everything else disabled. It has run for over a year without issue. In router mode it was not reliable for me -- connection issues, nat table overload, needing to reboot, etc.

I've heard good things from Broadcom... They've milked all they could from their MIPS-based chips and has now moved to Dual-core ARM-based chips... We can finally see better simultaneous performance all around (wireless+NAS). CPU was a serious bottleneck.
